What We’re Thinking

In search of twin chameleons

We’re looking for not one but TWO Digital Community Managers. Now, before you say to yourself, “Whoa, that there’s the job I’ve been waiting for!” and garb yourself in your coolest threads, dust off your resume, and rocket down to the offices of Cayenne Creative, let me tell you a little bit more about the job. You see, there’s an art to being a Social Media Community Manager. And not just everybody who knows their way around Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter is able to succeed at it.

In our business, we say all the time that you have to KNOW your client. And that’s the gospel truth. Knowing your client is the secret sauce that separates hero advertising and marketing firms from the goat ones. But, KNOWING your client is a rational quality. A Community Manager goes waaay beyond that. Yes, there’s the rational side, the side that understands the strategic, business, and tactical goals of the client and is able to translate those into socially acceptable content. But, the real Social Community Manager goes beyond that. They immerse themselves in their clients. They don’t just know them… on some level they become them. They suit up. They make the colors their own. They become a chameleon. They are able to speak client. They know the secret language, the special sauce. And they’re able to communicate that unique and delicious mix to the masses across multiple social channels.

So, there’s an art to social community management that must hold hands with what has become a very scientific process. And we’re looking for two people who have both sides. So, if you think you’ve got that stuff – if you are that shape-shifting, transmogrifying, protean empath who has the unique ability to left-brain the hell out of client strategy, and right-brain the whiz out of client voice, we want to talk with you. Hit us back.
